Although based on a large donation received
from the Shirley/Goode family of Hartsburg, the program will also
feature the Society’s entire collections.
The Shirley/Goode collection includes a book of
family tintypes, the 1873 Bible of Henry and Martha Shirley,
genealogy folders, and a sizeable postcard collection dating from
1907.
Other Bibles on display will be the 1872 Bible
of F. M. and E. Hayes of Lincoln and the 1857 Bible of David Birk
and Sara Copeland, who were married in Mt. Pulaski.
Other Postcards to be shown are an embossed
Hartsburg, IL card, a Greetings from Atlanta, IL card, and the
entire Lincoln, IL collection. Duplicate cards and copies will be
available for sale or order.
